Personality Type: An Owner's Manual: A Practical Guide to Understanding Yourself and Others Through Typology in Bloomington, MN

Drawing from Jungian psychology and popular culture, this detailed guide to personality types will help you develop a deeper, more meaningful sense of your truest self
For Jung, knowing your type was essential to understanding yourself: a way to measure personal growth and change. But his ideas have been applied largely in the areas of career and marital counseling, so type has come to seem predictive: a way to determine your job skills and social abilities.
This book reclaims type as a way to talk about people's inner potential and the choices they make in order to honor it. Using everyday examples from popular culture—films,
Star Trek
, soap operas, comic strips—it describes the sixteen basic ways people come to terms with their gifts and values.
In this book you will find tools to understand:
• How your personality takes shape
• How your type reflects not only your current priorities, but your hidden potential
• How unlived possibilities are trying to get your attention
• How relationships at home and at work can help you to tap your unrealized gifts
